Bottle Ring Care

organicKidz bottle rings are dishwasher safe and easy to clean with hot soapy water. If sterilizing, please use a steamer only.

organicKidz bottle rings are made without BPA, PVC or Phthalates. Since these chemicals are used to increase the strength and flexibility of plastic, products made with out these chemicals can be more susceptible to breakage. Replacement rings in all organicKidz colours are available.

About Bisphenol – A

Bisphenol -A or BPA is a compound used in many polymer based plastics like Polycarbonate Plastic (Shatter-proof clear plastic). This plastic is used to make baby bottles. BPA is used to strengthen and make plastics more flixible. Plastic without BPA can be more fragile. In the body, BPA acts as an estrogen receptor agonist, which leads it to behave in a similar way to human estrogen.

Many studies have indicated that there are concerns about BPA’s effects on infant and fetal development. In April 2008, the Canadian Government listed BPA as toxic and banned the use of polycarbonate plastic in baby bottles and infant formula can linings.
